That’s a bit uncharitable. Perhaps it’s significantly different wherever you are, but I’ve never taken less than 20-30 minutes to vote, and not because I’m trying to bog anything up. I vote for all races, including the judge retention election, plus I double-check my ballot. I’m naturally paranoid about accuracy in important things to begin with, but my first election in Chicago provided those dreaded “butterfly ballots” with chad-punchers (this was the same election where the butterfly ballots in FL made the news, along with “pregnant chads”). I had a sample ballot with me, and I made damn sure that the number of the chad I punched matched the number of the chad I intended to punch, and that it was a clean punch. I’m glad I did, given the FL froo-farah afterward.
I stuck my head out my living room window 7:30 this morning, and there was a line at my polling place. There is never a line at my polling place. I’m going to keep an eye on it for another 30 mins or so… if the line doesn’t ease up by then I’ll just grab a book to hang out in line. It looks like it’s moving pretty quickly, anyway.
